It's not often you run across someone who is as amazing as Elizabeth who took care of my dogs on the 4th of July! I could tell by the pictures she sent me the dogs were as happy as they could be. When I dropped them off I could immediately tell she was going to be perfect for Izzy and Bodie. I consider my dogs family and want the best for them. Elizabeth IS one of the best I've ever seen. I would use her again anytime.

We’re so grateful to have Elizabeth sit for Rusty when the other sitter canceled our booking in the last minute! Elizabeth provided outstanding care for Rusty and ensured that Rusty’s needs be met while spoiling him as well. She also sent a bunch of pictures and videos of Rusty that we enjoyed so much! Her acreage yard allowed Rusty to run around and exercise as he loves to be outside! Thank you so much for your care! Highly recommended and will definitely use the service again in the future!

About: We adopted our rescue the summer of 2024. He has my whole heart and I’d like to share that with your babies! Very flexible schedule too. I help my husband on our farm. When we aren’t busy I spend a lot of time with our dog Willy. I have an abundance of free time most days. Our dog is indoor. He has a pen outside he stays in sometimes when we’re gone. All dogs are welcome in my home. Rules set by owner will be followed at all times.

Therese was amazing with Winter! She was able to help us out in a pinch and go get our dog; when I was already away and my husband got called away unexpectedly. She sent daily updates with pics & videos. She didn't hesitate to ask questions about Winter for her overall well-being. Our dog was well cared for by Therese!!! Will definitely ? % book again with her!

About: I offer friendly service and plenty of extras. I can do grooming services while sitting. I also can offer group play sessions and off-leash play time (in a secure field). Your pet (s) will be safe and happy with me. I am experienced with many sizes and temperaments and I can handle anything. I know how to seperate dogs from other pets/animals as well, if needed. I will supply the care your pet needs per your instructions and make sure that your loved one is healthy and happy while you are away from home. If you have questions, feel free to ask! Pet care is my main gig! Between grooming, training, and pet-sitting, I am always keeping busy. The care of your pet is my highest priority I have a fenced in yard that I ensure to check the perimeter of on a regular basis. Additionally, I can leash walk dogs or allow them to spend time in a large 10x10 run that is inside a fenced yard

About: If you’re looking for a calm, safe place where your dog can relax, play, and get plenty of exercise, you’re in the right spot. I provide dog boarding in a quiet country setting with lots of open space for dogs to run and burn energy. Many dogs feel overwhelmed in busy boarding facilities, so my goal is to give them a low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will get: • Plenty of outdoor time and exercise • Constant supervision and attention • A safe, peaceful environment away from crowded kennels I’ve been around dogs for years and understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. I take the time to make sure they feel secure, get the activity they need, and settle in like they’re at home. Whether your dog loves to run, explore, or just relax, they’ll have the space and attention they need while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing during their stay. Caring for dogs fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m located in a quiet rural area, dogs staying with me have plenty of space to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors throughout the day. My day typically includes multiple outdoor breaks, playtime, and regular check-ins to make sure every dog is comfortable and getting the attention they need. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, activity, and rest, which helps dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Since I’m around throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised and never left alone for long periods. I also make sure to send updates and photos so owners can see how their dog is doing while they’re away. Providing a calm, structured environment with lots of outdoor time is a normal part of my day, and I enjoy making sure every dog has a safe, comfortable, and fun stay. When dogs stay with me, I focus on giving them a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention and exercise. I live in a quiet rural area, which allows dogs to enjoy lots of outdoor time and space to run, explore, and burn energy throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine that includes regular outdoor breaks, playtime, feeding on their normal schedule, and time to rest so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Every dog is supervised closely to make sure they are safe and adjusting well during their stay. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust care to match their needs—whether that means more playtime, relaxed downtime, or extra attention. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is being well cared for.
